Many more Doors Open Ontario 2013 events still to come

(Media Release)

Half of this year's Doors Open Ontario events are taking place
this fall - many incorporating the theme of the 2013 program, "Cultural
Expressions." Ontario's
architectural and artistic showpieces, community landmarks and natural wonders
are waiting to be explored - all free of charge.

This year, participants have the opportunity to showcase their
talent with the Doors Open Ontario 2013 Art Contest. This visual arts contest
celebrates the Cultural Expressions theme and the many artistic traditions that
have helped shape the province.

Since its launch in 2002, Doors Open Ontario has grown from 17 to
55 annual events, representing hundreds of communities across the province. In total,
nearly 5 million visits have been made to 5,150 different sites. Visitors to
Doors Open Ontario events have spent an estimated $39 million in Ontario's communities.
